Topic: Logic Model

In this learning activity, you will create a basic logic model of your evaluation. At the Community Tool Box website, you will enter the section dealing with Developing a Logic Model or Theory of Change. Follow the guidelines for developing a fictitious health promotion program intervention to help you address the learner objective you wrote and others that could be written like it, and fill in the “Logic Model Template.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10, NASB)

“The further back you can look, the further forward you can see.” (Winston Churchill)

In this module/week, we will continue putting theory into practice through evaluation. One of the paradoxes of public health is that when it is properly working, hardly anyone notices. Yet it is essential to demonstrate program efficacy in order to justify continued funding, expand needed services, and inform public health policy. So how do we know when it’s working? And how do we fix what isn’t working? By conducting empirical evaluation. Proper planning on the front end actually sets the stage for program evaluation on the tail end. Short term and intermediate behavioral impact affects long term morbidity and mortality outcomes, all of which are described as goals and objectives in the planning phase. Process evaluation examines the efficiency of program operations planned to meet the expectations. Like the intervention it measures, program evaluation is theory-driven, following logic models and examining theoretical constructs built in during the planning phase. Although it takes extra time and effort, evaluation is critical to establishing the evidence-basis of public health practice. The Bottom Line: Unlike pet projects of Congress that continue to be funded long after documented failure, the limited budgets of public health agencies require judging their policies and programs by results and not intentions. cial and Behavioral Theory Applications in Public Health

Use of provided template

Points Range:3 (12.00%) - 3 (12.00%)

Template is fully used as it is intended to develop logic model.

Points Range:2 (8.00%) - 2 (8.00%)

Template is somewhat used as intended to develop logic model.

Points Range:1 (4.00%) - 1 (4.00%)

Template is used but there are multiple areas where the tool is not used as is intended.

Points Range:0 (0.00%) - 0 (0.00%)

Provided template not used.

Question prompts: Completeness

Points Range:6 (24.00%) - 8 (32.00%)
